2 Claims.

' This invention relates to on burning equipment and my improvements,while not so limited, are intended particularly for use on marinevessels.

As will presently appear I propose to provide an air tight and watertight bulkhead or partition extended transversely across the fire roomin front of and suitably spaced from the boilers, to thus separate themain portion of the fire room from the boilers and their furnaces, saidfire room being divided intoa boiler compartment and an operatorscompartment.

The burner equipmen which is connected through the air register with theboiler front plate, penetrates the bulkhead and is connected 16 withsaid bulkhead by means of an expansible,

bellows, to absorb expansion and other distortions which occur betweenthe boiler and bulkhead.

other features and advantages of my invention will hereinafter appear.

In the drawings:--

Figure 1 is a sectional elevation of my improved oil burning equipment,taken on the line l-i of Fig. 2, and including the burner, air tightpartition that is penetrated by said burner, air register, andexpansible-bellows connection between the partition and register.

Fig. 2 is a front elevation showing a bulkhead in a fire roomwith theburner portions projecting forwardly thereof.

Dealing in the first instance with the compartmented fire room whereinthe boilers are shut off from that portion of the fire room occupied bythe furnace attendants, .let I indicate a bulkhead which extendstransversely across the fire room and serves as an tition to separateaboiler compartment A from the fire room compartment B that is adaptedfor human occupancy at atmospheric pressure; it being intended to supplyair under pressure, by

any suitable means,'into compartment A for combustion purposes.

The air register is shown as provided with a pressed steel frame havingdivided members 2 that are bowed. and engage by studs 3 with a ring tothe boiler front plate 5, said ring also carrying the usual Venturi ring6.-

The frame members 2 merge forwardly in a disk I that is provided withguide slots 8 for pins 9 that project from curved vanes l0 which arehoused within frame members 2, said vanes, near their rearward ends,having lugs I i by which they pivotally engage the studs 3.

Also a rotatable plate 12 is provided, it too having slots, l3, whichengage pins 9 for the st rotation of. the vanes.

air and water tightpar- The plate i2 carries a toothed sector it withwhich a pinion I5 is in mesh, said pinion having an operating shaft [6,with handle ii for its manipulation.

.A burner tube it, with the usual atomizer l9 5 and flame cone 20entered within the register, has the jacket 2| and is provided at itsforward end with a usual form of oil supply means.

The burner tube, in its jacket, is entered through a hollow casting 22,in which it is rendered air tight by a stufiing box 23, for a purpose tobe described hereinafter. Also said casting is provided with apassageway for the reception of the shaft i6, and here too a stuflingbox 24, is employed to render the fit air tight be- 15 tween shaft l6and its passageway.

A radial web 25 extends from and surrounds the casting 22, incompartment A, intermediate bulkhead I and boiler plate 5 and insuitable spaced relation from the bulkhead, and an ex- 20 pansionbellows 26 is fitted between said web 25 and the bulkhead, said bellowsat its rear end having a flange 21 that is clamped between web 25 and aring 28 as with bolts 29; and said bellows, at its forward end having aflange 30 that is clamped between bulkhead i and a ring 3! as with bolts32.

As has been premised the expansion bellows is intended for the purposeof absorbing expansion and other distortions occurring between thebulkhead and boiler.

Thus, by means f the tight joints effected between the bellows, the web25 and the bulkhead, as well as the stufiing boxes 23, 24, pressure ofair in compartment A is precluded from entering compartment B, while thecontrol means for oil supply tothe burner and the operating handle forshaft iii are projected into compartment B and therefore available to anoperator therein. I It will be noted that the frame disk 1 is aperturedfor the reception of the casting reduced portion 33, and the rotatableplate l2, which is also apertured, has its bearing about a shoulder 34upon said casting. v 45 Plate i2, which is provided with a cover 35, isrotated by pinion i5 as meshed with sector ll, by the operation of shaftl6, and in such rotation the vanes to, through the engagement of their 5pins 9 with the angled slots i3, are turned either inwardly to theclosed position or outwardly to the open position, the angled slots 8 infixed disk 1 serving to guide these' movements.

A cover plate 36 is shown as carried by bulkhead I and having theobservation doors 3! and lishting door l Variations within the spiritand scope of my invention are equally comprehended by the fore- Eoinzdisclosure.

I claim:--

.1. The combination with a boiler furnace having a front plate, abulkhead in spaced relation to said plate to define a compartmenttherebetween, said bulkhead having an opening therethrough, a burnertube projected through the 2. The combination with a boiler furnacehaving a front plate, a bulkhead in spaced relation to said plate todefine a compartment therebetween, said bulkhead having an openingtherethrough, a burner tube projected through the opening in saidbulkhead into said compartment, a casting in which said burner tubeismounted, substantially rigid means connecting saidcasting to said plate,a radial web on said casting, and expansion bellows having one endaflixed to said bulkhead and its other end secured to said web, thearrangement being such so as to compensate for relative movement betweenthe front plate and the bulkhead.
